About Cafe Lalibela Ethiopian Cuisine

Cafe Lalibela Ethiopian Cuisine offers amazing food with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. Customers praise the vegan dishes like azifah, shiro wat, and misir, along with veggie sides like fosolia and gomen. The injera bread is a must-try, made from ancient whole grain teff. The restaurant also provides a Sunday vegan brunch and traditional Ethiopian coffee. The combination plates are generous, with options for both vegan and meat dishes. The doro wat is particularly noted for its delicious spices and tender chicken, though it is served with an egg only upon request. The monthly vegan buffet has received great reviews as well, making it a favorite for many. The spicy flavors and great lunch options make this restaurant a go-to for delicious Ethiopian cuisine. Conveniently located in a strip mall with ample parking, Cafe Lalibela is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Ethiopian food. The folks that run this place are kind and attentive. The injera is always fresh. The staff greet you like family. It's one of those hidden gems. The mild combination plate had two meats with the texture and taste reminiscent of a beef stew. The bread you scoop the food up with was kind of spongy. It did not have any taste. Absolutely love the food, full flavor. CELIAC friendly. Staff is highly knowledgeable.
